Unsafe place to stay, very rough area. We checked into the room and it didn’t have any windows. Everything was outdated/ run down. We checked out within two hours and found a nicer hotel closer to the airport as anywhere else is really rough

Staff were nice .. the property is nothing to offer. Its not really worth it . Maybe if there is atleast a kettle in the room or a shuttle bus to drop or pick up in the airport . I rush to booked the place where there is more place that is more convenience . Thank you to the staff they are pretty nice

Very close to the airport and a mall. Taxi to airport was less than p100. The mall has a jollibee and McDonald's. On the main road from bridge 2.
The least expensive room was very small. It was clean, slow to no hot water. CR had TP which is a big plus. Friendly staff.

Low Standard Hotel with Dishonest Managment
January 2024
I have traveled across the Globe for leisure, vacation, diving trips. I never felt so taken advantage of by an hotel management. I made my reservation with Expedia as a VIP. To begin, there is no hot water, the room was dirty, Wifi almost non existent. I choose the run down 2 stars hotel because of it's proximity to the Cebu International airport. To ruin my last 2 days of a wonderful vacation, the hotel policy has, a surcharge of 1500 pesos for any large stains on bed sheets. At the time of check in, the front desk clerk mentioned that there were stains on the bed sheets. When asked for the proof, the employee took 5 min to show me, 2 small blood stains smaller than a penny on the bed sheet. The day hotel rate in this low standard hotel is 1100 pesos per night. I was due to pay more than the daily rate of a room to wash a bed sheet. Is the Managment wishes to steal the money of hard working peoples, just do it, don't try to find a loophole to justify it. I will never come back to this low standard hotel with questionable and dishonest people. I love the Phillipines and its peoples but I am going to make sure that dishonest people are brought light.Happy 2024 year to anyone!

If you like hostel accommodation but with walls around your bed and a personal bathroom then its ok. The bed was rock hard and the shower had no hot water in the evenings and barely a dribble of pressure. Wifi almost never worked.

Sewage smell and mold everything

Very disappointed with this place.... it seem like they slapped pretty paint on the walls and took a great picture but unfortunately the room smelled like sewage and the bathroom was covered in mold. We booked for 3 days and barely lasted 1 night. We ended up checking out the next day. My mom address the issue at the front desk but they seem to not care... you would think they would try to move us to another room.

No Frills stay near the Airport

Island Stays is a no frills hotel very close to Mactan Cebu Airport. It is great if you have an early morning departure or late night arrival. It's less than 10 min from the terminal. Our room was relatively quiet and clean. The overall property is quite old and is undergoing a much needed renovation. Still, the staff was very friendly and the room was functional.

Each room has it's own water heater ehich was very welcome after a long trip.

Of notable interest, the property is really a motel style facility with each room having a door going to the outside. It's in a compound with room for perhaps parking for 15.

For it's purpose, it's a very comfortable.

Good value and close to the airport.

We stayed 3 different times over a one month period. All rooms were pretty much the same. It's a low budget hotel that I think is good value.

First the bad:
This seems like a pretty old hotel and could definitely do with some upgrades - a new coat of paint here and there, etc. The TV was far too small for the room size although it had a decent array of channels. The shower heater was adequate but the shower head was abysmal. There was more water coming out the hose and sides of the shower head than the shower head itself. This was the same in all three room we stayed in.

Now the good:
The rooms were fairly large and clean. The air conditioning was good and fairly quiet. The beds were comfortable.
The staff were great and the location is especially good for short layovers.
Check-in and out were both very easy.
Overall, were were pleased with the rooms and would recommend this hotel.

Not well maintained

Location is situated near Mactan Airport, it's ok to stay if you have an early flight as it is only 3-5 minutes away from the airport.

Cleanliness is 2 out of 5, as per my friend the bedsheets have stains, the linens were not ironed. She even told us that maybe they did not change the sheets, pillow cases, blanket.

There's a television with cable and telephone but it is not working.

The stay was good. I arrived around 12mn and the stay was more of sleep and go. The room was clean but not so comfortable. My room was beside the street so the noise of horns was not good. Although the stay was good but I would not really recommend it. The only advantage is it is near the airport.

Island Stays was good enough for one night but I would not recommend it for longer than that. The place was clean but the air conditioning unit was mounted on the wall above the second bed and the condensate was falling right on it all night long (good thing there was another bed).
